Kick-(insert expletive for buttocks)

{SPOILER ALERT FOR KICK-(BUTT EXPLETIVE) THE MOVIE}
{SPOILER ALERT FOR KICK-(BUTT EXPLETIVE) THE MOVIE}
{SPOILER ALERT FOR KICK-(BUTT EXPLETIVE) THE MOVIE}

Back again~

Before starting a new morning routine. (Breakfast, shower, brush teef, workout, lunch, shower, brush teef, do whatever my mom needs, hang around, do whatever, dinner, spend time with family, brush teef, then bed.) {Blogging is in there somewhere.} Anyway, before the normal, hopefully new, routine I decided to add some new movies to the Netflix on Blu-Ray. One being the ever popular Kick-(insert expletive for butt here). 

This movie is about a high school kid sick and tired of people being beaten and hurt while people stand idly back. Throughout this movie several people step up to the metaphorical plate. Whether if it's because the want revenge on others, or to get Kick-(insert same expletive) caught so he can be shot, or because he just wants to help. These characters: Red Mist, Kick-(yeppp), Big Daddy, and Mindy, dress up as superheroes and use their capabilities to "help" others.

Anyway, onto why I decided to dedicate a WHOLE blog to this. 

Kick-(ya know) is a character I respected throughout the movie. He fought for ACTUAL justice, he fought to help people and to protect them, he dedicated himself and his (VERY LIMITED) resources to help anyone and everyone with everything he could.

Big Daddy and Hit Girl on the other hand are BAD GOOD people. Sure she's like... 10... And he's a retired cop, framed five years ago for being a drug lord but now he and his daughter are out for blood. He and his poor little corrupted daughter own several guns, bazookas, and weapons.

Throughout the movie there's ups and downs, with Kick-(expletive) gaining popularity with the citizens, and gaining hatred from the ever evil drug lord Frank.

Five years earlier Frank framed Hit Girls father, the cop Big Daddy. Five years Big Daddy spent in jail before reuniting with his 5 year old daughter, Mindy.The framing isn't the reason why Big Daddy was out for blood, it was because of the loss of his wife. Before Mindy was born her mother oded on pills and killed herself but thankfully, Mindy was born.

In the movie there's countless cuss words, violence, blood, and unbelievable amount of awesomeness. Within the last scenes of the movie, Big Daddy dies at the hands of Franks henchmen. Hit Girl and Kick-(expletive) exact their revenge. (Using a bazooka on Frank. :D) 

Maybe my little retelling of the story made no sense but see, here's why I wrote this blog. The movie Kick-(expletive) got me thinking about the injustices in life. The "little" and "big" crimes in today's society and people around not stepping up to the plate. I mean, why should they? They don't know that individual. But in all honesty, it doesn't matter if they don't know that person getting mugged or beaten up, because that's someone else's kid, someone else's mom, dad, brother, sister, spouse, aunt, uncle. The list goes on. If it was your family, wouldn't you want someone stepping to the plate? Being a superhero of their own? I dunno... This movie gave me a lot of thinking to do. 

Before you run from the screen and say "oooohhhhh! She told me to go and help people and potentially get killed in the processsss!!!" No. I don't mean go up to a man with a gun and try to like stab him. Being a hero can be dialing 911 or smiling at everyone you pass by. You never know, maybe you gave someone a reason to live. Talk to the person all alone at your school or work. Be nice to strangers. Being a superhero is by helping people, no matter how "big" or "small" the help is.

Hope I gave you something to think about.

Signing off, 
Crazy. Eighteen. Girl.
